Autumn Colours

Autumn – my favourite season by far. There’s something about the change in the weather, the shift in nature, which grabs my attention more than any other time of the year. Even the sun seems more beautiful than ever, some of the intensest sunsets I’ve seen have been in October/November.

To me there’s a warm comfort about autumn, the time when I relax down after the general hive of activity in spring and summer. It’s as if everything is having one last moment of splendour before winter comes along and wraps us up in long, cold, grey days. . . autumn is easily my inspiration for this post!

I had a walk round Eden yesterday morning, just as dawn was breaking, and took some shots which I’ve included in this post. The poem was written shortly after – enjoy! 🙂
